About SharpSharp Packaging Systems has been designing and manufacturing bagging systems for over thirty years. We focus on increasing efficiencies throughout the packaging and shipping process. Headquartered in Sussex, WI, we also have locations in Tempe, AZ, Pewaukee, WI, and East Troy, WI.

Innovative Bagging MachinesSharp Packaging Systems has engineered the most innovative machinery available anywhere. Once we understand your process requirements, we identify the correct machines to ensure your operation is efficient.

Our equipment includes everything from semi-automatic tabletop machines for smaller operations to completely automated bagging machines that are used in some of the largest fulfillment operations in the world. Our accessories streamline bagging for many types of products.

24/7 ServiceAll of our machines have been designed for easy maintenance. Parts are not proprietary and can be ordered from any maintenance supplies company. Our service technicians are available 24/7 through our service hotline, or you can reach them for consultations through video links. When you need us on-site, we’ll set up a service call. Training is always part of our installation process.

Excellent Quality BagsOur custom bags are produced to your exact specifications. We can also develop artwork for customized printing. We received the Badger State printing award for seven years in a row, and we’re quite proud of our printed bags.

E-Z Bags® are our pre-opened bags on a continuous roll. There are several stock sizes ready to ship, or you can customize the size and print on them. Our HD Mailer Bag is a staple in the industry and has been approved by the U.S. Postal Service.

Engineered SystemsOur engineers are experts in developing packaging and shipping systems. We begin by discussing your needs, so we can configure the ideal system for your operation. Planning how products are delivered to the packaging stations, then processed for shipping, is critical to maximize productivity.

We focus on reducing labor and material costs. We have developed systems that flow easily between processes to assure that bagging and shipping is accomplished as quickly and effortlessly as possible.

Scanning item barcodes and verifying package contents and weight is completed quickly in one easy passthrough. The most cost effective shipping option is selected automatically, and shipping information is printed directly onto the bag as it travels into the correct shipper’s bin. Efficiency is critical in every operation.

Every industry has its particular problems, but any business will be pleased with improvements that accelerate productivity, expand capacity, speed up run times and setup times, and reduce customer complaints and costs.

Below are some examples of the progress we’ve made in some of the industries we work with.

Productivity• An automatic air blower opens bags, with a mechanical opener as a backup.• Increased accuracy with options for weight count or optical count; precision level

weight counts are achieved.

Labor• Operator can pull up jobs and create labels with the onboard PC to reduce changeover time.• Robotic arms can be used to drop molded parts into bags.

Injection Molding

Productivity• Throughput increases of 61%, labor savings of over 80%, materials cost savings of 33%,

and 40% increase in accuracy for piece counts are documented.• Integrated imprinter reduces steps, and inline mailer is added for further efficiencies.

LaborPrinting information on the bag eliminates the need for cardstock inserts.

Parts

ProductivityThroughput increases of 400% and material cost savings of 66% are documented.

LaborPrinting information on the bag eliminates the need for cardstock inserts.

MaterialThermal imprinting of barcodes directly onto the bag saves $10 – $15 in label costs.

Retail

ProductivityAll-in-one system evacuates air from the bag, and allows gamma irradiation of products in the bag.

Labor Labor reductions of 73% are documented.

MaterialThermal imprinting of barcodes directly onto bag saves $10 – $15 in label costs.

Medical Industry

Productivity• Faster throughput—as much as 3.5 times—is achieved. The number of stations is

reduced by as much as 50%.• Integrated imprinter reduces steps, and inline mailer is added for further efficiencies.

LaborLabor costs typically decrease by 1/3.

Examples of Our Improvements

On-Site EvaluationFirst we will conduct an on-site evaluation to document current packaging processes. We will look at the production flow from the pick and pack operation to your workstations, including the design of the workstations themselves, and shipping procedures.

Findings and RecommendationsOnce we have completed the evaluation, we will identify ways to realize potential savings by reducing costs and increasing throughput. Our analysis includes a return on investment for the improvements we are proposing.

These improvements might include:

• Redesign workstations

• Develop inline bag and machine systems

• Integrate imprinter

• Add inline mailers

ImplementationOnce we have your approval for any recommendations, we will handle the installation and training processes for the entire project. We will coordinate with your team to assure that the project is completed on time and on budget.

Measure ImpactAs part of our process, we will define metrics to validate the impact of the improvements. We will establish reports to track results and monitor the return on your investment.

• Low productivity

• Capacity constraints

• Slow run times and setup times

• Processes slow throughput

• Customer complaints

• High costs

• Difficulty identifying the optimum solution

E-Commerce & PBM Operations

Here are some of the typical improvements we have made with Online Retail Fulfillment Centers and Mailing Facilities.

ProductivityIncreases dramatically— As much as 3.5 times faster throughput

Labor cost• Typically decreases by one-third

• Fewer workers are needed, though productivity is higher.

• The number of workstations is reduced by as much as 50%.

TrainingCompleted in just one week on new systems

5. Label printed

• The customer’s WMS interfaces with the shipping rate software to send a message to the Sharp Mailer System control software, which contains the appropriate shipping label.

• The shipping label is printed directly onto the bag and the bag is automatically opened for the operator.

6. Order bagged

• The operator takes the order items from the scale and places them into the opened bag.

• The operator initiates the bagger cycle by touching the capacitive sensors.

• The bagger seals, separates and delivers the finished package to the take-away conveyor.

7. Order routed to ship

The mail sortation and manifesting system automates the task of sorting outgoing Sharp HD Mailers, using the most efficient technology available on the market today. This system can displace the need for manual processing or less efficient flat mailpiece processing while increasing the quality and traceability of each mailpiece.

1. Tote arrives

• A tote containing ordered items is routed to the workstation.

• The operator places the tote onto the Sharp workstation.

2. Order scanned and weighed

• The operator scans the barcode on each item to verify order contents.

• The operator places all items onto the weigh scale, then scans the order identification barcode.

3. Shipping quoted

Sharp control software measures the exact order weight and assembles a message to WMS and/or shipping rate software.

4. Shipper selected

Shipping software obtains an instant shipping rate quote with multiple shipping carriers and selects the most inexpensive shipping method possible.

Thermal Imprint Ribbon

Less buildupPrint heads last longer, require less frequent cleaning

Print at higher speedsExcellent print quality with no voids, and no static buildup

Clear printing, high resolutionSharp ribbons deliver consistent high grade resolution and clear printing. Our ribbons allow you to print superior images when printing at high speeds without voids.

Prevent buildupWith the most advanced back coating on the market, Sharp ribbons are designed to prevent buildup and prolong print head life.

From plain wax to wax resin combinations, all Sharp ribbons have been engineered for a wide range of applications.

Prevent staticOne of the primary causes of poor print quality is static. Sharp Packaging relies on specially formulated ribbons to dissipate static and eliminate printing voids. Costly errors occur when barcodes are not printed correctly.
